It's not 11:53 p.m. and I'm officially running 53 minutes overtime. I was aiming for "early to bed, early to rise," but clearly that's not happening. I have to be up and at 'em in about six hours. Tomorrow's going to be just glorious. I only had one class today: Chinese. We sang songs about … Continue reading Day 26: And breathe.

It's that time of year. Everyone is getting sick! No matter where I go, there's always someone sniffling or sneezing, coughing or popping lozenges. Natalie has a fever (I made her a Get Well card). It's terrible! I think it's the crazy weather we're getting. One day it's eight degrees, the next it's 21 but … Continue reading Day 25: Something in the air?

I've officially cleared my writer's block, and am now stuck with a problem I've grown accustomed to - a tiny word limit. It was a long, difficult process, but I finally got my creative juices flowing and started telling Judy's story in a way that didn't make me want to throw my laptop out the … Continue reading Day 24: Tangled up connections

I believe I should count as proof that zombies do indeed walk the earth. I am so tired. The whole day has just been a rather unproductive day.

It's Sunday morning . . . at 7:04 a.m. and I am awake. Not only am I awake, but I've been awake, getting ready to leave for church for about 25 minutes. The shuttle leaves at 8:30 a.m. Can't connect the dots? Well I can't either! I set my alarm last night for 7:30 a.m. … Continue reading Day 23 (Sept. 26): This cannot be happening

It was another early Saturday. I'm beginning to see a trend here. On the one hand, weekends are supposed to be the days of relaxation - a time for sleeping in and taking a break. And yet, on the other hand, it is precisely because of this free time that I start scheduling all my … Continue reading Day 22 (Sept. 25): Giddyup!

Note: I actually didn’t forget to blog. It’s 11:53 p.m. on Sept. 24 but WordPress seems to be down at the moment. I’ll be posting this sometime tomorrow. Well what do you know? It’s already Friday! I’ve always thought university life has a time zone of its own. Each day seems to drag on with … Continue reading Day 21 (Sept. 24): Weekend already?
